simplesnips.vim

building a vim plugin was a bucket list item, I'm probably never going to update this again, but maybe it will be useful for someone learning how to do this.

Simple snippits. Add the following line to your config file:

`let g:simplesnipsDir = $HOME . "/path/to/your/snips/folder/"`

Then the command:

`:Sn snippitname`

Will insert the text of the file /path/to/your/snips/folder/snippitname into your code at the current line, or below your current line if the current line is not blank.

Autocompletion of snippit names should be enabled.

The only processing of snippit text is that the pattern __FileSlug__ is replaced by the current file's filename without the extension. So for instance class __FileSlug__ would become class MyClass when inserted into a file called MyClass.js

Similarly __FileSlugLower__ is replaced by the name of the file in lowercase, minus the extension. So myclass in the above example.

TODO: Insert at current indentation level

TODO: Allow snippits organized in sub-folders

TODO: Test on different platforms

TODO: Other improvements?

I don't want anything complicated like supporting the formats of other snippits plugins. This is for people who want a straightforward solution to writing a personal collection of templates in a simple format & use a plugin that doesn't pollute their omnicomplete.
